Why aknanitewho followsexogamycannot be treated as a member of the Community
Becauseknanites, by tradition, are theendogamousdescendants ofKinai-Thoma or of a member his team,their descendants too should have anendogamousbirth. But the descendants of one who goesexogamousagainst the traditions will not beknanitesas they will not beendogamous. Soknanitesare to followendogamy. Hence,endogamyhas been adopted as thefoundation and the very basis for the existence and growth of the Community.
Allowing to continue anexogamousknanitein the Community,will be the greatest foolery and blunderthe community can ever commit because, itinvites a constant, perpetual, highly eruptive and potential danger to its maintenance of the endogamous character.That is the reason why our intelligent fore-fatherscombinedExclusion(of theexogamous)withEndogamyas itsprime-basic law and tradition.
Knanaya is a community. So it has certain basic rules, regulations or restrictions.Exogamyis an act thatruinsthe knanaya community. Just like in any community, risking its own existence,knanaya cannot have a soft-corner towards one who ruins it bybreaking its very fundamentals. Soexogamyis quite unacceptable to knanayacommunity. So,aknanitewho followsexogamycannot be considered as part of knanayaat any time. A better option is to discardknanyaonce for all to merge with other communities. What differentiates a member of the Community from anotherknaniteis thepracticeofendogamyin marriage.
Theknanaya law is evolved by traditionand is not a written one.Exclusion is the integral part of the tradition and law of the Community.There is no tradition or precedence of including theKANAsin the Community.So, wecannot change the only one basic law of knanayaon which it is built. If changed, there is noknanya, the name will have no relevance and there will not be any difference from others. Then we will have to forget about knanaya and there will be no need for a compromise. We have to decide is YES or NO to knanaya, but not in between.
So theknanaya lawremains unchanged asfollows:-
"To continueto be a member of the Community, the knanite should not be married to a non-knanite."
* * * * *
Other points of discussion.
So, it isnot a question of moralitybut of the genes. For an incidence of immorality, nobody used to be excluded from any community or even from the Catholic Church. So it cannot be seen as a 'glaring defect'.
It is also not the purity in blood-line with ‘pure’ Jews that decides a member of the Community. Butpracticingendogamyin marriage,the very basic tradition and law of knanaya,is exceptionally crucial and most importantto continue to be a part of the Community. As long asendogamyis followed and non-endogamousbirths are not known, it cannot be said that knanaya is notendogamouswithKinai-Thoma or his team.
Regarding the degree of purity, several aspects have to be considered. For e.g. the purity ofKinai-Thoma and his team with those of'pure'Jews, if there is a pure one!We need not bother about any impurity occurred prior to the origin of knanaya in AD 345. So we cannot say that aknaniteshould be cent % Jew. So theendogamouscharacter of pure Jews need not be the same as those of pureknanites.
The knanaya genes aretobe compared not with those of the pure Jews but with those ofKinai-Thoma and the members of his team. So their DNA structure has to be ascertainedbefore comparison of the present dayknanitegenes, tofind out whether there is any impurity thereafter! There need not be any impurity after AD 345 though a possibility, which is unknown, is doubted.
Whether their relation is morally right or wrong, children of aknaniteswho followedexogamycannot be included in knanaya. Ifexogamyis followed, it cannot be knanaya. Exogamy is totally against knanaya.
Against the concept of knanaya to exclude all the exogamous, thereis no formula as ‘MoolakkattuFormula’ to include theknaniteonly who marry a non-knanite and toexclude his family. So, the reference and statements are misleading and objectionable as they are false and against our beloved knanaya bishop.

According to the current “Knanaya Law” that K. J. Philip keep posting - “To be a part/member of the Community, the Knanaite should not be wedded to a non-Knanaite". That means:
1. If a Kna takes a non-Knanaite as a life partner through the holy sacrament of marriage, it is an “unholy” act punishable by expulsion. But, if a Kna engages in “holy” acts with non-Knas within or without marriage, he/she is eligible to be a member.
In the above scenario, one Kna is involved in a morally right relationship while the other Kna is involved in an immoral relationship. Under the current Knanaya Law we exclude Knas who involve in a morally right relationship, but keep Knas who involve in an immoral relationship. Can we change the current Law to rectify this glaring defect by including Knas who involve in a morally right relationship as well? The Community’s status does not change at all as we do not include non-Kna spouses as members.
2. Knanaya supporters of the current Law accept the possibility of some secret “illicit exogamous birth within a few endogamous marriages and the presence of their descendants through generations”. They also say that “this uncertain possibility is there in all endogamous communities in the world and this possibility was there right from the time of our Great Father Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and even at the time of origin of Knanaya in AD 345 and thereafter”. Knanaya Ancestry Project report also confirms this non-endogamy (at substantially higher level than some or few, and due to different causes).
The generally accepted and scientifically proven facts as described above mean that children born to Kna (woman) through secret “holy” acts with non-Knas are “pure” members of Kna community, but children born to Knas through “unholy” sacrament of marriage with non-Knas are not “pure” enough to be members. The children under both these scenarios are non-endogamous. The difference is that one is from a morally right relationship and the other is from an immoral relationship. Can we change the current Law to rectify this glaring defect by including Knanaya non-endogamous children born out of morally right relationship with no-Knas as well? The community’s current status does not change at all as it already includes non- endogamous children.
The above proposed changes are narrower than the one Catholic Church wants, but wider than “Moolakat Formula”. The Church wants us to include, in addition to the above members, non-Kna spouses of Knanaites and adopted children of our families. It is wider than “Moolakat Formula” because Moolakat formula does not include children born out of holy matrimony with non-Knanaites. Moolakat formula has a glaring defect; it does not guarantee continuity of our families as part of the community and church in the next generation. The inclusion of children born out of holy matrimony with non-Knas will rectify this glaring defect. As a compromise, we will accept Moolakat formula for non-Kna spouses of Knas and our adopted children, though I prefer to include them, as well, as full members.
If Knanaites like Philip Nedumchira and Joe Vadasserikunnel agree to the above proposed change in the “Knanaya Law”, Knanaya can go forward as a unified and thriving community instead of trying to survive. These changes would go a long way to solve major issues confronting us today without affecting the current true status of the community much.

Knanaya is alleged to be mixed, impure and non-endogamous! So the advice givenby themis to allow exogamy and inclusion of non-knanites to preventdestroyalof the community!!! How paradoxical?!

Yes, let there be mixed or non-endogamous genes in knanites due to the uncertain possibility of any illicit exogamous birth within a fewendogamous marriages and the presence of their descendants through generations!

This uncertain possibility is there in all theendogamous communities in the world. Because the known cases of the exomous are excluded then and there, knanaya is not less pure than any other endogamous community in the world.

This possibility was there right from the time of our Great Father Abraham, Issac, Jacob etc. and even at the time of origin of knanaya in AD 345 and thereafter. So, if the same kind ofknanaya was relevant in AD 345, it is relevant and significant even now because endogamy has ever been in strict practise and the exogamous were kept out.
>
More than the degree of purity based on DNA results,it is the strictpractiseofendogamythat differentiatesknanayafrom other communities and makes itunique.What else is the difference?
>
So, if endogamy is not strictly practised, there is no knanaya. Then it just merges and become one with the whole lot. So after allowing exogamy and admitting the exogamous, we cannot use the name kannayaas it loses all its meaning evolvedand there is no need and relevance for a new exogamous community separate from others with some of the old knanites in it.

So, after allowing exogamy and inclusion, the first thing to be done is todiscard, disintegrate and dissolve the knanaya Community, Parishes, Missions and the Diocese with the others.

These are the 'truths'to be accepted.So, [whether the rule and tradition are 'sacred' or not], thetraditionofendogamyand theknanayarule,very well fit to the truth and so cannot be changed.

I don't think that the African-Americans insist onendogamousmarriages. So it cannot be compared withknanaya.

If we think it is foolish to exclude the exogamous doctors and otherscholers, let us make the community exogamous and disintegrate it, and if particular to have a new community usea different name. Thus, thesolutionis simple. But we cannot have knanaya and include thenon-knaat the same time.

We areKnanaitesbecause,we are descendants of Kinai-Thoma or of his team through the tradition of endogamy and not because of 100% purity.Our ancestors and we, follow and are born, inendogamyand are not known to beexogamous.So,the members are eligible to be a members of this community dispite their DNA structure.

Dear Knanaites,
Please read the article below from NY Times about African-Americans and then read the attached Knanaya Ancestry Project report. After reading both these reports (please take several days to read and if necessary re-read), I hope you will not hesitate to accept the truth and to change our “sacred” rules and traditions to fit the truth. Still, it would not surprise me if K. J. Philip and operators of American Kna keep posting the same old “Knanaya Law”.
According to the report below, African-Americans are a mix of Africans, Whites and other populations. As recently revealed based on research, even Michelle Obama is not a “pure” African. It is not easy to find an African-American who is 100 percent African no matter how dark or “African” they appear to be.
Like African-Americans, Indian Knanaites are also a mixed group, not an endogamous group. Knanaya is a mix of Jewish, Middle Eastern and Indian populations. We are not entirely the descendents of endogamous Jewish people. Knanaya Ancestry Project report indicates that a population of 54.3% genetic contribution from Asia Minor (both Jewish and non-Jewish), and 45.7% contribution from Sub-continental India would be the least distant from the Knanaya population”
Just think for a second, how foolish it would be for African-American community to insist for absolute “purity” and endogamous marriages. In addition to the legal, social and moral problems, they would have excluded the President, first lady, most of their intellectuals and most of their people. I hope our people will realize this foolishness and stop the practice of excluding our doctors, engineers and lawyers in the name of purity and endogamy which we don’t have. I hope our bishops, clergy, KCCNA, and local associations will rise to the occasion and end this madness that is destroying the community.
We are Knanaites not because we are pure and endogamous, but because we are the children of Knanaya ancestors whether pure, endogamous, mixed or adopted. Otherwise, most of the members are not eligible to be a member of this community.
Shared Ancestries Revealed
Henry Louis Gates Jr. is the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor at Harvard and the executive producer and host of “African American Lives” and “Faces of America,” to be broadcast in February on PBS, which will explore the ancestry of Stephen Colbert, Meryl Streep, Eva Longoria, Yo Yo Ma, Mike Nichols, Malcolm Gladwell, and six others.
As we have shown in the “African American Lives” series on PBS, fully 58 percent of African Americans have at least 12.5 percent European ancestry. Only 5 percent, in spite of widespread myths to the contrary, have as much Native American ancestry. And between 30 and 35 percent of all African American males can trace their paternal lineage (their y-DNA) to a white man who impregnated a black female most probably during slavery.

>
The illegality of miscegenation, the prevalence of sexual abuse and rape, guilt, shame, and disgrace kept these relationships hidden.
What this means is that, in defiance of the law and social convention, an enormous amount of “race-mixing” has long been occurring in the United States, about which we, as a society, have for just as long been in deep denial. I have never given an admixture DNA test of a black person who turned out to be 100 percent African, no matter how dark or “African” they appear to be.
Some of this inter-racial sexuality was voluntary, we now know, but far more was coerced, a reflection or a result of a profound imbalance of power. Because of a confluence of factors — the illegality of miscegenation, the prevalence of sexual abuse and rape as the source of these relationships, infidelity, guilt, shame, and disgrace — both black people and white people had a certain interest in keeping these relationships in the dark, as it were.

But knowingly including,anyone bornoutside an endogamousmarriage will make it non-knanaya andwill disintegrate it.Towardsinclusion, a change of mind-set is not possible because it will change the meaning of knanaya, so what is possible with inclusion of an exogamous one is only a name-change.

Why aknanitewho followsexogamycannot be treated as a member of the Community
Becauseknanites, by tradition, are theendogamousdescendants ofKinai-Thoma or of a member his team,their descendants too should have anendogamousbirth. But the descendants of one who goesexogamousagainst the traditions will not beknanitesas they will not beendogamous. Soknanitesare to followendogamy. Hence,endogamyhas been adopted as thefoundation and the very basis for the existence and growth of the Community.
Allowing to continue anexogamousknanitein the Community,will be the greatest foolery and blunderthe community can ever commit because, itinvites a constant, perpetual, highly eruptive and potential danger to its maintenance of the endogamous character.That is the reason why our intelligent fore-fatherscombinedExclusion(of theexogamous)withEndogamyas itsprime-basic law and tradition.
Knanaya is a community. So it has certain basic rules, regulations or restrictions.Exogamyis an act thatruinsthe knanaya community. Just like in any community, risking its own existence,knanaya cannot have a soft-corner towards one who ruins it bybreaking its very fundamentals. Soexogamyis quite unacceptable to knanayacommunity. So,aknanitewho followsexogamycannot be considered as part of knanayaat any time. A better option is to discardknanyaonce for all to merge with other communities. What differentiates a member of the Community from anotherknaniteis thepracticeofendogamyin marriage.
Theknanaya law is evolved by traditionand is not a written one.Exclusion is the integral part of the tradition and law of the Community.There is no tradition or precedence of including theKANAsin the Community.So, wecannot change the only one basic law of knanayaon which it is built. If changed, there is noknanya, the name will have no relevance and there will not be any difference from others. Then we will have to forget about knanaya and there will be no need for a compromise. We have to decide is YES or NO to knanaya, but not in between.
So theknanaya lawremains unchanged asfollows:-
"To continueto be a member of the Community, the knanite should not be married to a non-knanite."
* * * * *
Other points of discussion.
So, it isnot a question of moralitybut of the genes. For an incidence of immorality, nobody used to be excluded from any community or even from the Catholic Church. So it cannot be seen as a 'glaring defect'.
It is also not the purity in blood-line with ‘pure’ Jews that decides a member of the Community. Butpracticingendogamyin marriage,the very basic tradition and law of knanaya,is exceptionally crucial and most importantto continue to be a part of the Community. As long asendogamyis followed and non-endogamousbirths are not known, it cannot be said that knanaya is notendogamouswithKinai-Thoma or his team.
Regarding the degree of purity, several aspects have to be considered. For e.g. the purity ofKinai-Thoma and his team with those of'pure'Jews, if there is a pure one!We need not bother about any impurity occurred prior to the origin of knanaya in AD 345. So we cannot say that aknaniteshould be cent % Jew. So theendogamouscharacter of pure Jews need not be the same as those of pureknanites.
The knanaya genes aretobe compared not with those of the pure Jews but with those ofKinai-Thoma and the members of his team. So their DNA structure has to be ascertainedbefore comparison of the present dayknanitegenes, tofind out whether there is any impurity thereafter! There need not be any impurity after AD 345 though a possibility, which is unknown, is doubted.
Whether their relation is morally right or wrong, children of aknaniteswho followedexogamycannot be included in knanaya. Ifexogamyis followed, it cannot be knanaya. Exogamy is totally against knanaya.
Against the concept of knanaya to exclude all the exogamous, thereis no formula as ‘MoolakkattuFormula’ to include theknaniteonly who marry a non-knanite and toexclude his family. So, the reference and statements are misleading and objectionable as they are false and against our beloved knanaya bishop.

According to the current “Knanaya Law” that K. J. Philip keep posting - “To be a part/member of the Community, the Knanaite should not be wedded to a non-Knanaite". That means:
1. If a Kna takes a non-Knanaite as a life partner through the holy sacrament of marriage, it is an “unholy” act punishable by expulsion. But, if a Kna engages in “holy” acts with non-Knas within or without marriage, he/she is eligible to be a member.
In the above scenario, one Kna is involved in a morally right relationship while the other Kna is involved in an immoral relationship. Under the current Knanaya Law we exclude Knas who involve in a morally right relationship, but keep Knas who involve in an immoral relationship. Can we change the current Law to rectify this glaring defect by including Knas who involve in a morally right relationship as well? The Community’s status does not change at all as we do not include non-Kna spouses as members.
2. Knanaya supporters of the current Law accept the possibility of some secret “illicit exogamous birth within a few endogamous marriages and the presence of their descendants through generations”. They also say that “this uncertain possibility is there in all endogamous communities in the world and this possibility was there right from the time of our Great Father Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and even at the time of origin of Knanaya in AD 345 and thereafter”. Knanaya Ancestry Project report also confirms this non-endogamy (at substantially higher level than some or few, and due to different causes).
The generally accepted and scientifically proven facts as described above mean that children born to Kna (woman) through secret “holy” acts with non-Knas are “pure” members of Kna community, but children born to Knas through “unholy” sacrament of marriage with non-Knas are not “pure” enough to be members. The children under both these scenarios are non-endogamous. The difference is that one is from a morally right relationship and the other is from an immoral relationship. Can we change the current Law to rectify this glaring defect by including Knanaya non-endogamous children born out of morally right relationship with no-Knas as well? The community’s current status does not change at all as it already includes non- endogamous children.
The above proposed changes are narrower than the one Catholic Church wants, but wider than “Moolakat Formula”. The Church wants us to include, in addition to the above members, non-Kna spouses of Knanaites and adopted children of our families. It is wider than “Moolakat Formula” because Moolakat formula does not include children born out of holy matrimony with non-Knanaites. Moolakat formula has a glaring defect; it does not guarantee continuity of our families as part of the community and church in the next generation. The inclusion of children born out of holy matrimony with non-Knas will rectify this glaring defect. As a compromise, we will accept Moolakat formula for non-Kna spouses of Knas and our adopted children, though I prefer to include them, as well, as full members.
If Knanaites like Philip Nedumchira and Joe Vadasserikunnel agree to the above proposed change in the “Knanaya Law”, Knanaya can go forward as a unified and thriving community instead of trying to survive. These changes would go a long way to solve major issues confronting us today without affecting the current true status of the community much.

Knanaya is alleged to be mixed, impure and non-endogamous! So the advice givenby themis to allow exogamy and inclusion of non-knanites to preventdestroyalof the community!!! How paradoxical?!

Yes, let there be mixed or non-endogamous genes in knanites due to the uncertain possibility of any illicit exogamous birth within a fewendogamous marriages and the presence of their descendants through generations!

This uncertain possibility is there in all theendogamous communities in the world. Because the known cases of the exomous are excluded then and there, knanaya is not less pure than any other endogamous community in the world.

This possibility was there right from the time of our Great Father Abraham, Issac, Jacob etc. and even at the time of origin of knanaya in AD 345 and thereafter. So, if the same kind ofknanaya was relevant in AD 345, it is relevant and significant even now because endogamy has ever been in strict practise and the exogamous were kept out.

More than the degree of purity based on DNA results,it is the strictpractiseofendogamythat differentiatesknanayafrom other communities and makes itunique.What else is the difference?

So, if endogamy is not strictly practised, there is no knanaya. Then it just merges and become one with the whole lot. So after allowing exogamy and admitting the exogamous, we cannot use the name kannayaas it loses all its meaning evolvedand there is no need and relevance for a new exogamous community separate from others with some of the old knanites in it.

So, after allowing exogamy and inclusion, the first thing to be done is todiscard, disintegrate and dissolve the knanaya Community, Parishes, Missions and the Diocese with the others.

These are the 'truths'to be accepted.So, [whether the rule and tradition are 'sacred' or not], thetraditionofendogamyand theknanayarule,very well fit to the truth and so cannot be changed.

If we think it is foolish to exclude the exogamous doctors and otherscholers, let us make the community exogamous and disintegrate it, and if particular to have a new community usea different name. Thus, thesolutionis simple. But we cannot have knanaya and include thenon-knaat the same time.

We areKnanaitesbecause,we are descendants of Kinai-Thoma or of his team through the tradition of endogamy and not because of 100% purity.Our ancestors and we, follow and are born, inendogamyand are not known to beexogamous.So,the members are eligible to be a members of this community dispite their DNA structure.

Dear Knanaites,
Please read the article below from NY Times about African-Americans and then read the attached Knanaya Ancestry Project report. After reading both these reports (please take several days to read and if necessary re-read), I hope you will not hesitate to accept the truth and to change our “sacred” rules and traditions to fit the truth. Still, it would not surprise me if K. J. Philip and operators of American Kna keep posting the same old “Knanaya Law”.
According to the report below, African-Americans are a mix of Africans, Whites and other populations. As recently revealed based on research, even Michelle Obama is not a “pure” African. It is not easy to find an African-American who is 100 percent African no matter how dark or “African” they appear to be.
Like African-Americans, Indian Knanaites are also a mixed group, not an endogamous group. Knanaya is a mix of Jewish, Middle Eastern and Indian populations. We are not entirely the descendents of endogamous Jewish people. Knanaya Ancestry Project report indicates that a population of 54.3% genetic contribution from Asia Minor (both Jewish and non-Jewish), and 45.7% contribution from Sub-continental India would be the least distant from the Knanaya population”
Just think for a second, how foolish it would be for African-American community to insist for absolute “purity” and endogamous marriages. In addition to the legal, social and moral problems, they would have excluded the President, first lady, most of their intellectuals and most of their people. I hope our people will realize this foolishness and stop the practice of excluding our doctors, engineers and lawyers in the name of purity and endogamy which we don’t have. I hope our bishops, clergy, KCCNA, and local associations will rise to the occasion and end this madness that is destroying the community.
We are Knanaites not because we are pure and endogamous, but because we are the children of Knanaya ancestors whether pure, endogamous, mixed or adopted. Otherwise, most of the members are not eligible to be a member of this community.
Shared Ancestries Revealed
Henry Louis Gates Jr. is the Alphonse Fletcher University Professor at Harvard and the executive producer and host of “African American Lives” and “Faces of America,” to be broadcast in February on PBS, which will explore the ancestry of Stephen Colbert, Meryl Streep, Eva Longoria, Yo Yo Ma, Mike Nichols, Malcolm Gladwell, and six others.
As we have shown in the “African American Lives” series on PBS, fully 58 percent of African Americans have at least 12.5 percent European ancestry. Only 5 percent, in spite of widespread myths to the contrary, have as much Native American ancestry. And between 30 and 35 percent of all African American males can trace their paternal lineage (their y-DNA) to a white man who impregnated a black female most probably during slavery.

>
The illegality of miscegenation, the prevalence of sexual abuse and rape, guilt, shame, and disgrace kept these relationships hidden.
What this means is that, in defiance of the law and social convention, an enormous amount of “race-mixing” has long been occurring in the United States, about which we, as a society, have for just as long been in deep denial. I have never given an admixture DNA test of a black person who turned out to be 100 percent African, no matter how dark or “African” they appear to be.
Some of this inter-racial sexuality was voluntary, we now know, but far more was coerced, a reflection or a result of a profound imbalance of power. Because of a confluence of factors — the illegality of miscegenation, the prevalence of sexual abuse and rape as the source of these relationships, infidelity, guilt, shame, and disgrace — both black people and white people had a certain interest in keeping these relationships in the dark, as it were.
